Silas Pruitt · Answer 1

Given:

Water 4 m deep

Required:

Pressure at the bottom of the tank

Solution:

p2 - p1 = gh

p2 - p1 = p = gh

p = gh = 1000kg/m3 (9.8m/s2) (4m)

p = 39200 Pa

Marquise George · Answer 2

For pressure at the bottom of a water body we use the formula:

p2 - p1 = pgh

p2 - p1 = p = pgh

p = 1000 kg / m3 (9.8m/s2) (4m)

p = 39200 Pa
